"As soon as a free kick is given and it's anywhere near the box, I get excited. I don't really concentrate what side the keeper is on, because I always think that if I catch it as well as I can, then I can beat him whichever way he goes."

“We must not let ourselves get driven off course, no matter what happens we must stick to our natural game,”

- Zinedine Zidane

“I love to score goals after passing all the defenders as well as the keeper. This is not my speciality, but my habit.”
